Medicare Diabetic Supply: How to Obtain It at a Price You Can Afford?

Jan. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Before looking into where to obtain your diabetic supplies, be sure to speak with your doctor about what supplies that you need. When you have a conversation with your physician be sure to ask if there is a preferred brand that you should use, and if so, ask why that is necessary.

C. Molina editor of several diabetes websites like http://www.mydiabetessupply.com, said:

"...You may also want to ask your doctor if there is a specific program or agency that is recommended for you to get your supplies from. Do not fret if your doctor does not have any suggestions; there are a variety of options. Your first call should be to Medicare. You should be able to find a customer service phone number on the back of your Medicare card. Mention to the representative that you are calling because you a diabetic patient and require a certain amount and type of diabetic testing supplies. Ask if there is an agency or pharmacy that they can recommend that can provide these to you at an affordable cost. Also be sure to ask if there is a way that you can save money. Some Medicare plans only cover certain types of diabetic supplies. If this is the the case with your Medicare plan, your doctor may be able to tweak your routine to accommodate what your Medicare plan will cover…”

If Medicare is unable to assist you, look online for companies and agencies that work with Medicare to provide you with affordable diabetic supplies.

“"…Several of these companies exist and will work with you to provide you with the supplies that you require with little or no out of pocket cost to you. In many cases they will directly bill Medicare and any other insurance company that you have a policy with…” C Molina added:
